Ray of Light: The Joel Lane House Kitchen

About this talk:

The “kitchen building” on the Joel Lane Museum House property, while interpreted as such, has a more complex past than one might think. It was, in fact, never a kitchen, but rather a home occupied by several families since its construction in the 1790s.  Jack Paynter, former staff docent at the Joel Lane House, will discuss where the “kitchen” came from, the families who lived there, and how it made its way to the Joel Lane House.

Speaker bio:

Jack Paynter is the current program director at Haywood Hall House & Gardens in Raleigh. A graduate from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, he has worked in the museum industry since 2022 at sites in Raleigh and Athens, Georgia.
